Assume the data collected were as follows: (where the force in Newtons is computed by converting the mass to kilograms and then multiplying by the gravitational acceleration 9.8 m/s²) m (grams) Force (Newtons) x (cm) (measured) (computed) (measured) 1000 9.8 1 2000 19.6 1.5 3000 29.4 2.1 4000 39.2 2.4 5000 49 3 Make a plot of force vs. stretch distance x. This means force should be on the vertical axis. Since Fgravity = -Fspring (they are in opposite directions) and Fspring = -kx, then: Fgravity = kx This means the slope of your graph is the spring constant k. Fill in your value for k (measured in Newtons/cm)

Make a plot of force vs. stretch distance x. This means force should be on
the vertical axis.
Since Fgravity = -Fspring (they are in opposite directions) and Fspring = -kx,
then:
Fgravity = kx
This means the slope of your graph is the spring constant k. Fill in your
value for k (measured in Newtons/cm)
